Han Cheng felt annoyed when he thought about the unruly actions of his wife. She was getting more and more outrageous. When she was living with him, Chen Hui would still be honest, but once she went back to her natal family, who knows what kind of potion those people fed her; but every time this woman returned, she would cause some sort of trouble for him.

Usually, it was limited to him and his mother, but now Chen Hui was even dragging Han Ruochen and the first branch with them. Han Cheng felt quite embarrassed as he felt that the dirty laundry had been aired in front of others.

Han Ruochen pretended not to see the embarrassed expression of her second uncle and simply smiled. "Uncle, there is no need to think too much. I am going to the shore anyway. There is nothing for us to eat at home, so I might as well fish for something to eat."

When Han Cheng heard that Han Ruochen was going to the shore to fish for something to eat, he felt his lips twitch. He worked hard all day long, and he could not get anything to sell to the state-run restaurant. Han Ruochen was telling him that she was fishing just for fun; he could not help but complain in his heart. The heavens were really unfair; why was Han Ruochen so talented, and he did not even inherit an ounce of talent from his father? It was as if the spirit of his father only blessed his granddaughter; as for the rest, they were left to suffer on their own.

"Sure, if that is the case, then I will come with you." Since Han Ruochen had already put it like that, what could Han Cheng say? He could only follow Han Ruochen to the shore. The two of them collected their tools and then headed to the Tong family, where they waited for Tong Zhaodi to come out.

However, before Tong Zhaodi could come out, a black shadow lunged at Han Ruochen. Seeing this, Han Cheng hurriedly pulled Han Ruochen behind him. "You ...Tong Hao, what do you think you are doing?"

When Han Cheng saw that it was Tong Hao who had jumped on Han Ruochen, he could not help but lose his temper with the man. What was he doing? If he hadn’t pulled Han Ruochen just now, then the two of them would have tumbled on the ground.

"Ahahaha, I am sorry, I am sorry. I was in a hurry to go to the county," Tong Hao laughed lewdly while peeking at Han Ruochen. The more he looked at the cold beauty in front of him, the more his frustration grew with Han Cheng. He was sure that if he had made physical contact with Han Ruochen just now, he could have brought this beauty home, but Han Cheng ruined his good plans by interfering.

Han Ruochen also looked at Tong Hao. However, her gaze was filled with chill. She knew very well what the man was trying to do just now and felt annoyed. It was her fault for lowering her guard just now, and she was grateful that she did not come alone and drag her uncle along with her, or else this man would have ruined her reputation.

If she was not wrong, then Aunt Tong must be hiding as well.

"Can you call Zhaodi? Tell her that I want to take her to the shore." Han Ruochen coldly spoke to Tong Hao, who nodded as if he were in a daze.

"Ah, sure, sure." Tong Hao seemed to have agreed, but he made no move to call his sister.

Seeing this, Han Ruochen frowned. She turned her head and called in a loud voice, "Zhaodi, come outside!"

"Coming, coming." Aunt Tong walked out of the house with a smile on her lips. She motioned to Tong Hao with her eyes and then turned to look at Han Ruochen just as her son went inside the house. "Ruochen, are you for Zhaodi? Do you want to come inside and have dinner?"

"No, thank you, auntie." Han Ruochen shook her head and refused. After seeing the intentions of Tong Hao and Aunt Tong, she was worried that if she dared to even take a sip of a glass of water, she would end up being schemed against. So how could Han Ruochen eat something from their family?

Instead, she said, "Can you call Zhaodi? We are in a hurry. The new tide will start soon, and I am worried that the things at the shore will be washed away."

"Ahem, sure, sure." Aunt Tong smiled at Han Ruochen, but inwardly she was cursing the good luck of this woman; if she were not with her uncle tonight, then Han Ruochen would have become her daughter-in-law! She felt upset when she thought about how she had lost her prospective daughter-in-law. Her smile was worse than crying as she turned on her feet and walked inside the house.

"You better keep your mouth shut, do you hear me?" As soon as she walked inside the house, she heard a loud smack followed by the sound of Tong Hao scolding Tong Zhaodi. However, Aunt Tong did not even bat an eye when she saw the younger brother beating his older sister. Anyway, Tong Zhaodi was just a loser, so what if she was beaten? Ultimately, it was her fault.

She was close to Han Ruochen, and she could always sing praises of her younger brother to convince Han Ruochen, but this girl did not even do something so simple.

Not only did she not blame her son, but she also blamed Tong Zhaodi. "Your brother is right; don’t say anything to Ruochen. If I find out that she is aware of our intentions, then I will show you a good face!"

Mother Tong threatened Tong Zhaodi, who nodded and sniffed. She had been locked up by her mother just now, which gave Tong Hao the opportunity to almost roll down with Han Ruochen. If not, how could Han Ruochen allow them to cause trouble!
